But despite the spiritual undertones of many of their songs, the question remains – is Florence + the Machine a Christian band? If you’re looking for a quick answer, here it is: While Florence Welch was raised Christian, she does not currently identify the band specifically as Christian.

The video and the song ask: How can someone live freely and avoid being crushed under life’s incomprehensible challenges? Welch was raised Catholic, but has said in interviews that she is an agnostic who does not subscribe to any religion. And yet the sacramental imagination of Catholicism has a deep hold on her psyche.
